President Donald Trump will not receive an expected ruling from NY Judge Juan Merchan on November 26 regarding the status of his felony conviction as Merchan has ruled to suspend any ruling until after Trump’s inauguration. Team Trump called the ruling a “total and definitive victory for President Trump.”
Merchan stated, “Given the need to balance competing constitutional interests, consideration must be given to various non-dismissal options that may address any concerns raised by the pendency of a post-trial criminal proceeding during the presidency, such as deferral of all remaining criminal proceedings until after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term.”

“This is a total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American People who elected him in a landslide. The Manhattan DA has conceded that this Witch Hunt cannot continue,” Trump Communications Director Steven Cheung.
On Tuesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told Judge Juan Merchan that sentencing in the falsified business records case against President-elect Donald Trump should be postponed. Trump’s team celebrated the move, calling it a “total and definitive victory for President Trump.”
The filing stated, “The People deeply respect the Office of the President, are mindful of the demands and obligations of the presidency, and acknowledge that Defendant’s inauguration will raise unprecedented legal questions. We also deeply respect the fundamental role of the jury in our constitutional system,” per NBC News.
